OpenGL on Intel HD Graphics 3000 (sandybridge)

Hi there.

According to Intel my integrated graphics  should support OpenGL 3. As you can see, this is not the case:

lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile 
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

Is this a deficiency with the xf86-video-intel drivers, or something else?

Thanks in advance for helping me clear things up...

The card supports OpenGL 3, but Mesa doesn't. Mesa 8, which will be relased sometime in 2012, will support OpenGL 3.

And you are lucky XD In my case with my Asus 1215N netbook with an Intel X3150 and an Atom D525 (Dual Core), I have OpenGL 1.4 XD so.... But yes @Gusar is right, there no OpenGL 3 in mesa drivers for now, they are almost finished and ready to be published maybe not in the end of this year, but probably in the beginning of 2012 if I'm not wrong ^^

I have the same configuration. How about on Windows 7, it will work OpenGL 3.0 ?

May I ask why do you need OpenGL 3?

Anyway, Mesa 8 will be released in March.

I need it for a project. And my question is if it will work with windows 7 ?

Re: OpenGL on Intel HD Graphics 3000 (sandybridge)

I have Sandybridge graphics too, but for me the glx version string is only 1.4. Would this be because I have an ULV mobile CPU (i5-2557M on Asus UX31)?

glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile 
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.11.2)
OpenGL extensions:

EDIT: Nevermind, I had the LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable pointing to the 32-bit drivers for wine, so glxinfo couldn't load them.
